Emergency guys! Help needed asap
 
I'm stuck on the road side and my z just shut off on me?! I was driving normally and at the red light I felt the car tremble and gurgle then it shut off. I tried to start it up again and it makes horrible noises but it does sound like it wants to start. I don't know what to do rn I really don't want to call for a tow truck too expensive :(

Was it after a right hand turn? What's you're fuel level, under 1/4? If so you may have hit the fuel starvation issue. Jack up the left rear of the car really high and see if you can get it to start that way. That's worked for me.

sounds like fuel starvation to me. But it could honestly be numerous things

Okay I'll try tilting it and yes I did turn right!

Get an OBD/CAN reader and clear any DTCs.
and/or
Try disconnecting one of the battery posts and pressing the brake pedal for a few seconds, reconnect battery post. This will reset the ECM.

Okay I'll try this. Tilting didn't work.

Fuel starve then...
Freeway on ramp maybe?

Any lights on the dash?
Are you 6spd or 7at?

Guys... I'm still out here but after a bunch of fiddling around with the possibilities of the cause. My buddy finally came to look at it and he said some Zs had a recall because the fuel reading system was all messed up. It shows I'm at half tank right now but it really means it's empty! Wtf I went to buy a new battery for crying out loud!

If your a 6sp your CSC will go, so be prepared for that.
